Reviews


100
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Contact is that rare big-budget motion picture that places ideas, characters, and plot above everything else.
80
Empire - Unnamed
Contact delivers on more than a pure visual level, reiterating the idea that greatest progress is made taking "small steps" towards enlightenment.
75
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Its discussions don't go very deep, and moviegoers with strong religious values may wonder why it comes down for humanism over spirituality.
70
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
The movie, adapted from a novel by Carl Sagan, presents one long chain of teasingly open-ended questions about reason versus faith and technology versus religion, and ends up tentatively embracing mysticism over rationality.
70
Salon - Unnamed
Faithful to Sagan's brand of popularized science, the film never reaches beyond Hollywood spectacle and sentimentality.
